Ever hear of KILZ primer?? (its new) If I had 64 years painting
experience I would NEVER argue with the "rookies" and "unexperienced"
on the news group. I love the qoute of the week: "When in doubt, just
go ahead and do it your way!!" (I will remember this one the rest of my
life)

Yes, I use KILZ when applying acrylic paint over oil based, but if I
put oil over acrylic I don't. The orginal question made no mention of
using any kind of primer. I often use Fresh Start if I am painting over
a surface someone has used an oil based paint on first. Kilz isn't new.
My BIL has had KILZ for years in his store...and yes, anyone who
doesn't trust what you say and prefers to do it his own way should
indeed do just that. You don't have to listen to anyone you don't wish
to. Advice is worth exactly what it costs. Life is short, do as you
please. (That's a better quote)

I found this in one of my pamphlets that came with a bucket of paint I
use wall paint for my wall murals...some people want Alkyds, some want
latex, usuall after hearing the difference in price.

>>>If you will be using OIL finish paint, then you should use OIL based primer.
If you will be using LATEX finish paint then you can use LATEX or OIL primer.<<<

What I THINK does not matter. All I KNOW is what has worked for me all
these years. As far as painting the exterior of a whole house, I have
never done that, but I do know that the older the previous coat on the
house, the easier it is to use latex paint because of the chalk effect.
Oil paint is not advised in that case unless primed first, but I
believe the question was not about the exterior of a house, but a
deck...??? The best thing the painter can do is call a paint store
about decking products. That's a lot easier than argueing about it.
Painter, call your paint store. I will continue as I have for so long.
It works very well for me.
